Canadians were surprised to learn that a week ago that another Canadian soldier, Master Corporal Byron Greff had been killed in Afghanistan. Canadian soldiers were supposed to be removed from the fighting war of that country. That was what was thought when our nation withdrew from its combat mission.
And with surprise we learned of the death of Sgt Janick Gilbert who died after parachuting with two other search technicians into the cold icy Arctic Waters to rescue two lost Inuit hunters from Igloolik. Soldiers should not perish doing rescue work in Canada.

For this week’s column I would like to thank our men and women in uniform and their families lest we forget their sacrifices.

Sadly the parties are all alike.
Yes the federal parties all spout off about what they would do differently if they were running the country.
